Poland: Polish Personal Data Protection Office requests comprehensive legal regulation for GDPR-compliant documentation within counseling centers

The Personal Data Protection Office (UODO) in Poland noticed a legal gap while adjusting the provisions of the GDPR to the activities of psychological and pedagogical counselling centers. Currently, the Polish Education Law and the implementing acts related to it only cover partial protection of personal data contained in the documentation kept by the counselling centers. Therefore, the UODO President sent a formal request to the Minister of Education and Science to consider a comprehensive legal regulation for issues related to the documentation inventory by psychological and pedagogical counselling centers in order to comply with the GDPR.
